The design is sturdy. The plugs held my 16 guage speaker wire with no issues. To use you do have to remove the covering from each speaker wire for about 1/2 to 3/4 inch to expose the wire, which is then held into the plug by "a teeth like design".

The speaker is matte black. It is solidly constructed. Was easy to pair a set of these using the Sonos App. At max the speaker does not distort. It will play loud filling a medium to larger sized room.

The base is tight, and not overwhelming. The base nicely balances with either play 3, play 5 or soundbar. The subwoofer is excellently constructed and solid. It has heft too it. The finish is glossy black with some gunmetal color appearing trim.

The protector has a clean modern look with a mixture of matte and glossy black. The indicator lights are blue. The wall plug is flat. I have had no problems with the six of these I have.

The tower fan/purifier puts out nice air flow at speeds 5 on up. However, at the upper speeds it is a little loud but not annoying. I had a little difficulty locking the two pieces of the base into place. Build quality is good. Clean modern look.

The stand is well constructed. It feels solid. The white is matte to match the speaker and on the front of the speaker support as well as the base is muted silver trim. The stand was easy to assemble. The speaker base itself could have been designed slightly larger. The speaker just sets on the base with no other support.

The movie, a modern day sci-fi/adventure where the characters are pulled into the world of a video game, has great special effects and a good storyline. The ending is positive. The Blu-ray quality is great and looks excellent on a 4k television.

The Midsomer Murder mysteries ran for several years. Each episode in Series 4, as in the others, has a great storyline with twist and turns. The episodes keep you guessing as to who committed the murder. If you like murder mysteries this series is entertaining to watch. The video quality is that typical of DVD.

 Samsung - 970 EVO 250GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology
Samsung - 970 EVO 250GB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology
Back up important data with this 250GB Samsung solid-state drive. Its V-NAND technology uses a 3D, stacked layout to maximize storage capacity while minimizing bulk, and it has no moving parts, so it's less susceptible to physical damage and drive failure. This Samsung solid-state drive operates quietly to reduce disturbances.
 

Does this include a screw to secure it?

This SSD does not include a screw. Screws for mounting SSD's of this type come with the motherboard or the device you are installing it in. I have purchased several M.2 SSD's of this type for installation, and no matter the brand I chose (usually, but not always, Samsung) none of them included the mounting/holding screw.

Dell - 21.5" LED HD Touch-Screen Monitor - Black
Easily navigate Web sites, menus and your media with this 21.5" Dell S2240T LED monitor, which features a 10-point multitouch display for simple operation. The 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution delivers striking high-definition visuals.
 

Include stand?

Does purchase of this monitor include the stand shown in picture?
The stand comes already attached to the monitor but is removable. The monitor can be wall mounted once the stand is detached from the monitor (requires the removal of two screws). The stand is metal (aluminum I assume) and is sturdy and the one I have seen in photos of the monitor.

Mount screen

Can this screen be mounted like a TV? Does it have the normal 4 screw attachments on the back? Could not see this on the picture listed.
The monitor can be mounted using a standard VESA mount (100 mm).

It will work but you will need a minidisplay port to HDMI adapter.

dual monitor

If I already have an iMac, can I use this as a dual monitor?
You can use this monitor with an Imac as a second display if the Imac has a video out port. I assume it does, so you would need a mini-display port to HDMI adapter. Even though you can use the monitor as a second display, keep in mind touch will not work with Mac OS X (a limitation of the OS and not the monitor).

Will the "touch" portion work with my mac mini?

No, not unless you're running Windows 8.1 on your Mac Mini. The Mac Desktop OS currently does not support touch. This is a limitation of the OS and not a fault of the monitor.

Why is touch not working with my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9?

My S2240T displays nicely as a second monitor for my MacBook Pro, however touch is not working — it might as well be a much cheaper, non-touch screen.

The included Drivers and Documentation disc does not include a Mac driver, nor does the 100+ page manual mention "Apple" or "Mac" even once. Does Dell not support Mac? Or even acknowledge its existence?
Mac OS X for the Desktop does not currently support touch capabilites; this is something Apple current has not designed into their Desktop OS and not a limitation of the monitor.

Can I plug in a Keyboard?

You cannot plug in any USB peripherals directly into the monitor; the USB port that is built in is to enable the touch capability only. The 23 inch version of this monitor as well as the Acer 23 inch do have USB ports built into the monitor.
